Jews And Slavery

September 29, 1985|By Charles A. Licht.

OLYMPIA FIELDS — Recently Louis Farrakhan was quoted in various media as suggesting that the Jews were responsible for black slavery past and present.

I would like to suggest that Mr. Farrakhan go back to history books and read up again on the fact that the major proportion of black slavers who went into the hinderlands and stole people to sell to the ship captains were Arabs --Moslem Arabs. There is absolutely no evidence that Jews had anything to do with the black slave trade in Africa which resulted in the exportation of tens of thousands of human beings.

Please note Arab Moslem-Moslem Arabs were the ones who did a major proportion of this trade. How can he be a Moslem? How can he take money from Moammar Khadafy?
